ShapeDo is the smart way to manage, compare and review construction drawings - in the office and out in the field. Stop scrolling through endless revisions to find what changed. ShapeDo automatically compares any two versions of a drawing and highlights every difference for you, so reviews that used to take hours take minutes. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Automatic drawing comparison - see exactly what was added, removed or changed between revisions, highlighted in clear colour overlays. • Review and approve - mark up drawings, leave comments and manage approvals so the whole team works from the latest, correct version. • Smart forms - raise and answer RFIs, run inspections and record meeting minutes, all linked to the right drawing. • Organised projects - keep drawings, versions and folders tidy and searchable across every project. • Works offline - open, compare and review your plans on site even with no connection. Everything syncs automatically the moment you reconnect. • One source of truth - your phone, tablet and the web stay in sync, so nothing gets lost between the site and the office. BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION TEAMS Architects, engineers, contractors and project managers use ShapeDo to cut review time, avoid costly mistakes from outdated drawings, and keep everyone aligned.
